[Vobject] Formatting international addresses

[martin f krafft]

Dear list,

I can get a formatted address from a vcard object like this:

  a = vobject.vcard.Address()
  a.country = 'Switzerland'
  a.code = '8050'
  a.city = 'Zurich'
  a.street = 'Mystreet 1'
  print str(a)
  >> 'Mystreet 1\nZurich,  805\nSwitzerland'

Unfortunately, the output format is that used in the US, not in
Switzerland, where post code would precede city without any
punctuation or double spaces between:

  Mystreet 1\n8050 Zurich\nSwitzerland

The only mail on the matter I found was
http://lists.brotherharris.com/pipermail/vobject/2009-January/000172.html,
but the thread does not provide a solution.

Am I expecting too much functionality from vobject?

Would this functionality make sense in vobject?

Do you know of another class to use to provide this functionality?

Thanks,
